Living with Chris

So Chris and I have been living together just short of one month and I am so happy. I can honestly say that I'm far happier than I expected to be. It's just so, so, so wonderful having him around all the time. Why didn't we do this a lot sooner?

I've missed having my best friends around. When I was living in Arlington, I had my sisters. When I was in college, I had Autumn. Since I've lived in Arizona, I've been lonelier than I was willing to admit to myself. Now that I have Chris with me, I realize how lonely I was. It's so fantastic to have a best friend to do everything. It makes the least appealing tasks (like housecleaning) enjoyable. Plus, I had no idea the impact of being told (and shown) daily that I am loved. It's incredible. I'm overflowing with happiness.

Chris isn't working yet which means I've been spoiled. Horribly, horribly spoiled. He makes dinner almost every night. He gets up with me in the morning and makes breakfast while I'm getting ready for work. He gets the mail and does laundry. He walks the dogs. He goes grocery shopping. He plans meals. I am so, so spoiled. Chris starts work on Monday (August 6th) so I anticipate all of his hard work will be transfered to work. But this sure has been nice.

In addition to taking care of me, Chris has been busy getting settled. The house and garage are all set. We're living comfortably and Chris is able to be productive in the garage. He recently finished up a shelf he was building for David and Arianne. It's fantastic. He's even started blogging at ChrisMadeThis.com! You can see what he's been doing in his wood shop.
